21 meters – height of High Force waterfall in England; 30.5 meters – length of the lion's mane jellyfish, the largest jellyfish in the world; 33 meters – length of a blue whale, [127] the largest animal on earth, living or extinct, in terms of mass; 39 meters – length of a Supersaurus, the longest-known dinosaur and longest vertebrate [128]
For the small outer irregular moons of Uranus, such as Sycorax, which were not discovered by the Voyager 2 flyby, even different NASA web pages, such as the National Space Science Data Center [6] and JPL Solar System Dynamics, [5] give somewhat contradictory size and albedo estimates depending on which research paper is being cited.
Rack with sample component sizes including an A/V half-rack unit. A rack unit (abbreviated U or RU) is a unit of measure defined as 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (44.45 mm). [1] [2] It is most frequently used as a measurement of the overall height of 19-inch and 23-inch rack frames, as well as the height of equipment that mounts in these frames, whereby the height of the frame or equipment is expressed ...
A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal). The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines the Olympic swimming pool as 1 million litres, which is the approximate volume of the smaller FR2 pool.
Improving measurements were continually checked and cross-checked by means of improved understanding of the laws of celestial mechanics, which govern the motions of objects in space. The expected positions and distances of objects at an established time are calculated (in au) from these laws, and assembled into a collection of data called an ...

The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years or 206,265 astronomical units (AU), i.e. 30.9 trillion kilometres (19.2 trillion miles).
A metric space M is bounded if there is an r such that no pair of points in M is more than distance r apart. [b] The least such r is called the diameter of M. The space M is called precompact or totally bounded if for every r > 0 there is a finite cover of M by open balls of radius r. Every totally bounded space is bounded.
